Will it ever be topped?

How could it be? There can be only one Kumiko.
Once they release the next season/movie, of course.
i want to top kumiko
Too bad. Kumiko likes power bottoms.
true
Have you ordered your Kumiko yet?
reina is so aloof and thinks she's the shit or something
a fucking horrible little girl who thinks that is more mature than others
wow what episode was this
There have been plenty of candidates for biggest letdown by a studio so in all likelihood it already has been topped.
Is the Finale movie any good? I really loved S1 and was hyped for S2 but S2 sucked balls hard to the point that I only just managed to finish it last week after 4 years of trying.
this was the scene of the year. flawless, fantastic
;_; aaaaaaaaaaaa
i would pay any amount for an official kumiko figure but kyoani is too retarded to sell the rights
Yes
movie was enjoyable but it felt rushed and shouldve just been another full season.
That's why I ordered the Acrylic Stand. On one hand it might be the best thing we'll ever get and on the other hand, if enough people buy one it might inspire them to finally make a figure.
what didn't you like about s2? just curious
The pacing really felt off. I started over twice. I thought it was fine up until the Kansai Competition, though certainly it felt drawn out compared to what I felt S1 did. But the real issue I had was that all the character drama was happening but it was all samey misunderstandings that could have been solved if the characters had just taken a second to speak to one another (which is literally the resolution to the Mizore/Nozomi story, both in S2 and their movie), but it started to blend together when Asuka and Natsuki and have basically the same issues with each other as Mizore and Nozomi did or Asuka and the bari sax buchou did in S1. And then it ends on the "Asuka might quit" plot which ended up being pretty compelling when Kumiko was involved with it but it was far too dragged out and I felt it got boring when it became an every-other episode thing where she was either staying or leaving. The payoff was good but they could have used some of the episode time there on more Kumiko/Reina rather than just the one episode, or more Kumiko/Mamiko (which would have made the ending of the nationals more impactful, imo).
You complain about all of this this but you liked S1 which had autistic Kumicute unable to talk to Reina for the first 2 or 3 episodes?
if you didn't like Season 2, you probably won't like it - wait until the next continuation to see if it's worth trudging through.
But that was different since it was literally the beginning of the show and hadn't been repeated 5 times yet. Plus autistic Kumiko is cute whereas autistic Asuka is just infuriating, and don't forget that Kumiko and Reina confess their feelings on the mountain in S1 by the 5th episode.
I just really don't like when people come up with "hey, they should just speak to each other lmao" as a reason why drama sucks. I don't think Hibike is some kind of Dostoevsky novel in anime form but at the very least the characters, their actions and interactions were done OK as far as I'm concerned.
Again, it really isn't about the character drama being of low quality because it was entertaining, but that when they use almost exactly the same plot points for every instance of drama it gets samey and loses it's effect.
Kumiko is so fucking precious
I agree.

It's really impressive how alive Kumiko feels, even compared to some other characters within the same show. Kyoani always does a great job at making their characters quite expressive through their mannerisms, but combined with her VA's performance it really stands out. I'm not even that invested in Hibike itself, but Kumiko has always stuck with me.
Yes, even before it was conceived.
It's too bad Kumiko's show was kinda underwhelming. She deserved better.
No, it won't. My favorite anime of all time.
S1 and S2 are both flawless masterpieces. Chikai no Finale was rushed, unfortunately. Hopefully the upcoming work is a new season, not another movie.
Are Kumiko hugs as comfy as they look?
Oh shit, I need one. Can you order on the Kyoani site and have it shipped to the US?
